Hi Benspap1! I also have PTSD, It started in my childhood and continued on from there. I was an RN, now I am a healing survivor...that takes almost all of my time. When it hit me the hardest was when I married my current husband. Mt T told me it was bacause I finally felt "safe" so it started coming up. My poor husband he had nothing to do with this crap and catches the whole ball of wax right in his lap.
I also was an EMT, I am sure some of the witnessed accidents and killings have an affect on my PTSD too, but at this time it is mostly about my childhood.
There is some promising research out there, for longterm results. The key is getting the proper treatment. I am happy that you will be able to get the treatment needed. I am hopeful for you.
I know too that when I was keeping myself busy all the time, with work and children, etc, that I had fewer symptoms surface....I was repressing and distracting myself from the PTSD. I was a workaholic. Give yourself some time and be patient with yourself.
Thanx for sharing
